Best Public Schools in White Castle, LA

The city of White Castle, Louisiana is home to two schools - Dorseyville Elementary School and White Castle High School. While Dorseyville Elementary consistently ranks in the top half of Louisiana elementary schools, White Castle High School has struggled, ranking in the bottom half of the state's high schools.

Dorseyville Elementary School outperforms the Iberville Parish and Louisiana state averages in both math and English language arts proficiency across multiple grade levels. However, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%, which could be impacting its academic performance. In contrast, White Castle High School underperforms the Iberville Parish and Louisiana state averages in math and English language arts proficiency across multiple grade levels and end-of-course exams, and also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%.

The Iberville Parish school district, which both schools are a part of, is ranked 69 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. This suggests that the district as a whole may be struggling and could benefit from targeted interventions and support. Additionally, while White Castle High School maintains a respectable 83.2% four-year graduation rate, the 3.3% dropout rate is an area of concern that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.
